Outpost.com Offers Same Day Delivery... Sorta
from the read-the-fine-print dept
So, Outpost.com makes headlines by claiming they can do same day delivery, but you have to read the fine print. It's same day delivery if you order before 6 am Pacific time. So, realistically, all this is is overnight delivery, with a slightly later deadline. I don't think it's worthy of comparisons to Kozmo or any of those guys. However, by saying "same day delivery" of course all those comparisons come in, and outpost gets publicity.
Thank you for reading this Techdirt post. With so many things competing for everyone’s attention these days, we really appreciate you giving us your time. We work hard every day to put quality content out there for our community.
Techdirt is one of the few remaining truly independent media outlets. We do not have a giant corporation behind us, and we rely heavily on our community to support us, in an age when advertisers are increasingly uninterested in sponsoring small, independent sites — especially a site like ours that is unwilling to pull punches in its reporting and analysis.
While other websites have resorted to paywalls, registration requirements, and increasingly annoying/intrusive advertising, we have always kept Techdirt open and available to anyone. But in order to continue doing so, we need your support. We offer a variety of ways for our readers to support us, from direct donations to special subscriptions and cool merchandise — and every little bit helps. Thank you.
–The Techdirt Team
